Hide Profile

The Brooklyn Museum Art School was founded in 1941 in Brooklyn, NY and closed in 1985. A non-degree-granting institution, its chief purpose was the training of professional artists, although it also offered classes for amateurs. At its peak in the 1950s, the school was run by artist Augustus Peck and benefited from the GI Bill; continual efforts to either become accredited or to merge with an existing degree-granting institution began during this period and remained a concern until the School's eventual demise. Although student numbers declined in the 1960s and 1970s, post-graduate scholarships were offered to promising young artists and the School's reputation in the art world rose under the leadership of Jolyon Hofsted. However, funding continued to be a problem and the decision was made to close the school in 1985; the remaining students (mostly amateurs) were transferred to the Pratt Institute's Continuing Education division.
